Oh I'm totally against forced pronoun labeling, if you read my other reply in this thread.

I'm just saying that the general concept of it if you're trans/non-binary (and WANT a particular pronoun used) is helpful for people who otherwise wouldn't know.

I think it's become commonplace enough that people don't jump to the conclusion you're trans/non-binary if you put a pronoun next to your username.

Preaching to the choir, my partner is intergender but biologically female/female-presenting. I like to think I have at least some degree of understanding.

Out of curiosity, would that make you bisexual?

I think when you want something you should ask for it, for sure!
